Nethermind v1.8.70 Release Notes

Release Date: 2020-07-20 // almost 4 years ago

  • ⚡️ 1.8.71 is the same + updated pivots

    🛠 [JSON RPC] Fixed an issue with trace calls always timing out
    🔀 [NETWORKING] Inreased Eth timeouts and timeouts handling for better bodies and receipts syncs
    🔀 [MEMORY] MemoryHint is now applied to TxPooll and Trie cache which allows for better memory control outside of sync. Less memory can be now allocated to DB
    🔧 [LOGGING] Seq can be configured via config files now
    [METRICS] Not publishing unchanged metrics
    🔀 [AURA] Improved full sync switches on AuRa
    [PERF] Skipped allocations when calculating headers hashes in Clique
    [PERF] Decreased allocations for Ethash and decreased the memory footpring of cached data caches for ethash verifications
    🚚 [PERF] Removed allocations on almost all ECDSA operations
    🔀 [PERF] Removed some unnecessary allocations on empty blocks during fast sync.
    🛠 [NETWORKING] Decreased allocations and CPU usage and generally fixed discovery cleanups
    🔀 [SYNC] Simplified receipts and bodies sync so they are safer to restart, faster, more predictable.
    🛠 [TXPOOL] Fixed tx flood control issue from 1.8.67
    🔧 [MEMORY] Change the default configurations of memory hints for all chains (decreased default memory usage)
